Hi All
It was good to hear so many stations on 136 kHz again. Finbar
EI0CF has a new antenna up, and will try to operate during the
day on Monday; Tuesday; and Wednesday of this week.
Finbar can't guarantee any specific operating schedule, but try
listening for him at even hours, UTC: e.g. 08:00; 10:00; 12:00;
etc..
Reminder: Some LF operation from lighthouses is planned for
18/19th August (DF2BC/P and OH1AH). Check the Noticeboard on the
G3YXM web site for details.
As for this past weekend, there was lots of rain at my QTH in
Chepstow, so there were not many opportunities to use my vertical
antenna, but here is what I worked/heard (mostly using my
single-turn loop antenna, running east-west - hence deep nulls to
the north and south):
